Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. First edition, limited. Chicago: The Black Cat Press, 1935. 95, [3 - index] pages. Original tan buckram with gilt spine lettering and printed paper cover label. [24 cm.] Spine sun-darkened and with a few small spots and a little speckling, minor foxing to gutters of prelims; about very good. FIRST EDITION. One of 300…copies, this copy unnumbered and stamped "For Review Only" on the colophon. PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION SIGNED BY THE PUBLISHER, Norman W. Forgue, on the front free endpaper. The inscription reads: "To J. L. Frazier, with the cordial regard of Norman W. Forgue." The recipient was Julius Leroy Frazier (1885-1966), who wrote and published "Modern Type Display" (1920) and "Type Lore: Popular Types of Today" (1925). Frazier also worked for a time as an associate editor at the Inland Printer Company. Norman W. Forgue (1904-1983) founded the Black Cat Press in 1932. He was responsible for the typographic design of the present volume and collaborated with the author in its compilation and production. The book is based on Will Ransom's "Private Presses & Their Books" (1929), which is here updated with books printed in the intervening years. The output of the Black Cat Press is included in the bibliography, although the limitation of the present work is curiously listed as 350 rather than 300 (see p. 45).
